Let's do that. It's not like these things haven't happened in every country that ever existed. I'm hoping for the best!
I would like to have a intelligent discussion about the horrible shooting that occurred today in Boulder, Co. No politics allowed.

Wiki tells me that the first use of the term was in Hitler's Germany to describe a rifle that was selective fire (semi- or fully-automatic). The article goes on to say selective fire is a requirement for the military to consider a weapon an "assault rifle".
Why 20 rounds? Why not 18, or 11, or 3?
Brett yet just one round, and let's limit it to 22 shorts.
Why not?
Are you aware of the differences between the Mini-14 and the AR-15? The furniture. That's it.
Was it true that the shooter was on a FBI watch list? What good is that? Maybe we should defund the police.
Give the assault rifle bull s*it a rest.
No one is selling assault riffles.
Would you feel better if he used a 357 magnum revolver?
I'd like to buy that Glock paperweight he has.

Exactly. Follow the logical conclusion and the end result is confiscation.
we saw how crooked and inept our once great FBI is..
No one. Not one single manufacturer marketed their rifle as an assault rifle.
Guns save lives as well. (Someone posted the cdc article earlier.)
But I wasnt driving in the 60's. So I cant agree or disagree with that idea.
What about the figure 4? Because Ric Flair's entire body would be an assault weapon.
Sadly, such also fits within the reference of quite few sheriff and police stations throughout these United States. I don't have the time at the moment, but I could link dozens and dozens of printed and broadcast news that addresses such. By all means do I support the basic principles of Law Enforcement. In fact, 90+% of Law Enforcement Officers are decent folks!! But that 10% along with some of the things they do and the will for the other 90% of them NOT to talk or turn-in the bad sheep within their flocks is the curse that lessons their deserved respect, and most importantly, the TRUST of those that they supposedly "serve and protect".
Anyway, just an early morning rant. To each his own, and a Nice Day to All!!

I Know!! And the knee to the groin, face and or any-wherever else!!! LOLOLOL!!!
If we can't ban assault rifles I'd like to see them heavily taxed with those taxes going towards the support of mental health intervention programs. This would be similar to what the American Lung Association proposes with increased cigarette taxes.
And in some cases drugs can save lives, but if used innappropriately or in inappropriate strengths, can cost lives the argument I'm making here is that both firearms and certain chemical compounds can serve humanity with appropriate regulation, but humanity has proven ad nauseam that without such regulation, both can have a decidedly negative affect.on humanity.
I said "DEFENSE". Your comment is intentional nonsense with no content. When it comes to defending oneself, should you be outgunned? If you don't want to defend yourself or your family adequately, don't. That's your business. But don't tell me I shouldn't.
Sure, no problemo. Which part/portion would you like such, and which language might ye prefer??
I'd like to the see the same thing for BLM "peaceful" protests. Tax all the participants heavily in order to pay for all the damages.
A true AR 15 was an assault rifle. It had a fully automatic setting. Guns called AR 15 these days are civilian guns styled in an AR 15 fashion. So maybe I should share your concerns with the manufacturer that their promotion worked.
Therapeutically the advantage of owning a large assault weapon would be that it helps the male owner feel better about his sexual inadequacies.
What's your plan to post bail for the insurrectionists?

Ah the fear monger if they will take our guns angle that has no foundation in reality used to undermine gun control and reduce gun killings.
I have also heard that the gubmint is programming seatbelts to strangle us on impact so I refuse to wear them
So if you tax them, only rich people can afford them. That's a great way to discriminate based on income.
I doubt that would pass Constitutional muster, as, if it even got to that point, a majority of SCOTUS would view that as infringement.
I have read a couple pages but don’t have the time to read all 16. What I’m about to say may have already been said however it’s where I stand. To me the second amendment means something. I honestly have never agreed with the fact that a person who commits a felony and does his time can’t own a gun. Shall not be infringed is pretty clear.
With that said we ate trying to solve an issue and solving that issue will not be done with gun laws. Over the last 20+ year we have consistently defunded mental health. I believe those chickens are coming home to roost. If you want to fix mass killings you need to start with mental health. Not more gun laws.

Gun deaths in the US is currently at 4.43 per 100,000
Next is Romania with 0.08 per 100,000
So if guns save lives how many more deaths would we have without them? I guess serial stabbings would escalate.

Yes no one has said on here they are stockpiling guns as part of their plan to overthrow the government just that they want to be prepared if the opportunity arises.
Im sorry if referring to your AR is a pea shooter hurts your feeling but it’s accurate. Everyone thinking they are John Rambo with their AR from Academy would be in for a rude awakening if their fantasy scenario were to come true.
Again I don’t care if people own guns. I even agree that putting the genie back in the bottle at this point is a pipe dream for even the most ardent supporters of things like that. All I am saying is that people just need to say I got it simply because I could or because it helps my manhood as opposed to all the stupid comments about protecting yourself from a tyrannical government.
